- X10 I has too small battery for 6'' and no bezel on the bottom which leads to occasional taps

There are a lot of goodies in the new phone like water resistance, OLED display (low power screen here we come), a bezel on the bottom, 3600 mAh battery, 128 GB internal storage, you name it.

This could be a keeper if SailfishOS would be officially supported by Jolla.

To be honest, I think the way they choose and support devices in general just doesn’t work.
When you don’t have enough recourses and your OS is still not ready, you focus all your energy on one device. You choose a successor every couple of years and you keep actively supporting the previous device for another couple of years.
This way you have the “latest and greatest” and just an older device to support (for each cycle).
How hard is this? When you spread yourself too thin trying to support much more devices than you can actually handle, you end up with mediocre results and no one is happy.
